Oh My! I could have written this, myself! In fact, I think I DID! I will have to read back on my profile "novel", starting in late 2001.
My granny was "my person"- hands down! She loved me, unconditionally, no matter how fat I got, how many times I got divorced, etc. She was obese, herself, and always worried about MY health- even though my health stayed pretty good. I had RNY, on 4/22/02. Granny died 10/18/02, so she didn't get to see me reach goal, etc, but, she knew when I hit the Century Club, and she was so excited!!
You keep honoring your grandma! That constant love is better than any cookie or ice cream will ever be!

We Can Do Hard Things
Just letting you know I have my mental health assessment scheduled for tomorrow as part of the pre-op requirements for bariatric surgery. I'm looking forward to the next step in this journey and appreciate your continued support.
I used to stock up when I found a good deal. I know the vacuum sealer really kept things in good shape. Always made my own sauces and froze them. Also had fruit for pies and frozen peppers and lots of meats.
My sister got new chickens about a month ago. This week one was missing. She thought a raccoon but could not see anywhere it could get in. Next morning another one was gone. She looked and finally found them under a new feeder. They are all fine now so that was a relief.

"I wonder if pizza thinks about me, too."
This March, I lost my grandma, my rock, and the person who always believe in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. Her passing has left huge hole in my life, but it's also given me a renewal sense of purpose. My grandma always worried about my health especially my weight. At over 400 lbs, I know I haven't been living the healthy life she wanted for me. So I making a promise to her and myself to change that.
My Promise:
I'm starting this blog to document my Journey. It's not just about losing weight; it's about honoring my grandma's memory and making her proud. I'm taking the difficult but necessary step on pursuing weight loss surgery. It's a tool, a new beginning, and a way for me to take control of my health and future.
The Road Ahead:
This won't be easy. There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments when I want to give up. But I'll keep thinking of my grandma, her unwavering love, and the promise i made her. I want to live a long health life.
Good afternoon how everyone Friday been, Today was good my mom took care of kids for me while I clean the house listening to some My Chemical Romance and do more research for weight loss surgery.
Breakfast: Veggie Omelette Wrap
Lunch: Tuna Stuffed Avocado
Dinner: Turkey and Veggie Meatballs with Spaghetti Squash

Happy Friday, all!
Made it to Florida about 12:30 last night. I thought I would sleep like a rock, but I didn't. Or at least not until about 6:00 this morning. I didn't sleep an hour on the plane.
Today is a lot of unpacking and hopefully getting my gym stuff set up. I'm sure that there will be a Home Depot trip in there somewhere, as well.
I am not on vacation today, so there are also calls and things to look at as well. Hopefully get a lot done today and play on Saturday and Sunday. Monday, I fly home at 6:30 and go straight into work.
QOTD: more with fish that we have caught than other proteins. A lot of Paleo bloggers will say that having emergency protein on hand is the key to eating healthy.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: sandwich
Dinner: Hopefully some sort of seafood!
Have a great day, all!
